About Star Alliance

Star Alliance member benefits

There’s no better way to get around the world

Star Alliance is a leading global airline network. Through codeshare agreements and cooperation, Star Alliance member airlines offer customers a convenient global reach and an efficient,seamless travel experience.

As a Dividend Miles member, you earn miles when you travel with any Star Alliance member airline. If you're Gold, Platinum or Chairman's Preferred, you also qualify for Star Alliance Gold status. If you're Silver Preferred, you also have Star Alliance Silver status. With status, you'll enjoy lounge access, extra baggage allowance, priority boarding and more.

Building the new American. Together

On March 30, 2014, we’ll be exiting Star Alliance and plan to join the oneworld® alliance on March 31, 2014, which means our Dividend Miles members can look forward to mileage earning and redemption opportunities, reciprocal elite benefits and lounge access on oneworld carriers.
